Up Close With the Maen Brooklyn 36

In honour of the recent Stockholm Meetup organised by @YourIntruder and @Matt84, here’s some photos of my Brooklyn 36 Triple Calendar watch by Swedish brand, Maen

Looking good. Maen were out in full force last night, nice to see a Swedish brand doing so well.

·

Was very tempted with their Watchfinder Collab. Nice piece! 👍

Yes glad to see they’re doing so well - they really pay attention to the details

Striking 👌

Thank You.

I liked the Skymaster design a lot (would’ve loved to see it in person first though!)

Thanks - appreciated

So crisp👌

Wonderful photography

I found this watch incredibly difficult to capture with my camera. The dial is much more dynamic than comes across in my photos.

·

I am definitely digging these. I must remain strong!

·

Really nice shots. They do this dial variant many more favors than the limited product photography on Maen's site, and now I'm kind of regretting getting a different version.

It’s one of those dials that really need to be seen in bright lights. The sunburst can appear anything from a cold metallic steel to a warm champagne colour.

I noticed that you tried on the Manhatten - how was it?

Any particular dial variation take your fancy (if you were to yield, of course!)?

You got the reverse panda, right? Is it gloss or sunburst? I think a deep gloss black would spectacular with the subdials. I think the printing is really well done on all of these - such a joy to look at

Honestly, I wasn't bothered 😬

The dial was nice, and it's lovely and slim, but the bracelet didn't do it for me.

All my attempts. None of these photos show how lovely it actually is.

Pics look fine?!

Last one does a great job in showing the depth of the dial - from the height of the indices to the sunken (textured) subdials 👍👍👍

I want to buy this and or a Hudson but really wish they would make a 40mm…

I’m sure you could get something similar to a Hudson, nearer the size you are looking (in a variety of price points too) but I cant think of any (newer) two-sub-dialled triple calendars, unfortunately

Its a gorgeous dial and A grade bracelet - Omega should learn a thing or two about quality bracelets from these brands - the watch looks even more rich and expensive because of the quality and aesthetics

·

This is beautiful!!!

The dial for me is (always) the main attraction. It’s an unsusl complication layout with a familar dial design. If this were a chrinograph, a lot of people would say: lose the date wheel. On here, it’s required

Lovely!

This is why I love this site. I never would have looked at/for a watch like this from a brand like this. It’s now on my wish list. Beautiful watch!

Er, yeah….sorry about that 😉

Let us know which dial variation you end up going with (should you decide to buy, of course)

Nice watch. How well is it running? Acureccy?

Its running ok - not noticeably inaccurate

In your pictures, I like how the minute and hour hands create an angry brow above the eyes. Almost like, it's a mean maen.

I am definitely a fan of this watch, angry owl looking or not.
